Dragon Savior A New Beginning ( Update Version)

Shadows of Doubt, Flames of Resolve (163)

Atlas carried them through the night, his powerful wings cutting through the wind with effortless grace. As they neared their destination, Starfania spotted a large gathering of individuals outside the meeting hall, their faces illuminated by the flickering glow of lanterns. Each of them had traveled from distant lands to unite against VulcanFire's sinister plan. Starfania wondered how badly her father had affected these nations to have them unite against him. What was Caesar's history against these nations? She knew her mother's death affected him enough to hate dragons for all of eternity. But to what depth was he willing to go in order to quell all of this? As they descended closer, Starfania could hear the low murmur of voices, filled with a mix of determination and unease. It sent shivers down her spine.

She gripped Atlas tighter, her heart racing with anticipation. What if they blamed her for her father's actions? She couldn't shake the feeling that they might see her as a reflection of his misdeeds. Atlas landed softly, and she stepped off, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. The crowd's energy was palpable, a mix of fear and hope. She moved cautiously toward the gathering, her presence drawing wary glances. Each gaze seemed to hold a story, a history of loss and struggle against the tyranny of VulcanFire. Was her father aware of the pain he inflicted on these people? Did he truly believe that power could be wielded without consequence? The air was charged with whispered plans and strategies. Starfania could sense the unity among the nations, a bond forged by shared suffering.

It made her realize how isolated her father had become in his quest for dominance. Did he think he could conquer the world alone? Starfania took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. She had a choice to make. Did she want to confront her father's legacy or forge a new path for herself? The thought of standing against him filled her with dread, but the idea of siding with these nations—of standing up for the innocent—brought forth a flicker of courage within her. As she stepped forward into the light of the lanterns, Starfania felt the weight of her lineage bearing down on her. The time for silence had ended. The time for action was now.

Lyam, standing at the entrance, regarded her with a usual smirk. " It seems the Dragon Savior has finally made it. "

Starfania swallowed hard, her nerves threatening to choke her. Her heart pounded in her chest–what was she supposed to say in a moment like this? Instead of fumbling for some formal introduction, she blurted out the first thought that popped into her head. " What can I say? It's been an eventful day. "

The area went silent. For a brief agonizing second, she feared she had just made a complete fool out of herself. Then a few quiet chuckles broke through the tension, growing into laughter. Starfania exhaled in relief as the oppressive weight in the air lifted slightly. Lyam shrugged off her remark with a smirk and gestured towards the Town Hall. " Shall we begin now that you're here? "

Starfania took her usual spot, Atlas resting at her side like a silent guardian. As the meeting progressed, discussion swirled around strategies to prevent VulcanFire's devastating attack. Lyam informed his allies that they were making a cure to stop the poison that VulcanFire's were planning to release. However he also told them that they were planning to release this poison during the Eclipse of the Eternal Sun. Which is only a couple of days away from until now he was going to create a special task force in order to infiltrate them and stop it. Then he looked towards Starfania and said. " Dragon Savior I'm gonna need you and your dragon Atlas for this mission. "

Starfania breath caught in her throat. She didn't misheard him. She was going to have to fight her home VulcanFire. 

The weight of his words hung in the air, heavy and palpable. Starfania's mind raced, memories of her childhood flashing before her eyes. A time when VulcanFire was just a distant threat, before she had chosen to stand against them. The thought of confronting her old kin sent a chill down her spine.

"We can do this," Atlas rumbled softly, sensing her hesitation. His midnight gaze met hers, reassuring and steadfast. She took a deep breath, feeling the bond they shared strengthened in that moment. They had faced dangers before, but this felt personal. Lyam continued, outlining the dangers they would face.

"The Eclipse will give them cover. We won't have much time." His voice was steady, but Starfania could see the urgency etched on his face. "Every second counts."

With a nod, Starfania found her voice. "I won't let you down. We'll do whatever it takes to stop them."

The fire of determination ignited within her, pushing aside the fear. She knew this was more than just a mission; it was about saving countless lives, including those she once called family. Around the table, others murmured in agreement, their resolve building. They were united, ready to take on the challenge ahead. Atlas shifted closer, as if to remind her she wasn't alone. Together, they would face whatever trials awaited them. One way or another, they would disrupt VulcanFire's plans.
